# 10x: build iOS apps with AI in plain language

> 10x is an AI-powered macOS app that turns plain-language descriptions into production-quality SwiftUI apps with live Simulator preview.

10x lets you describe the iOS app you want to build in plain language, then handles everything else: planning your concept, generating production-quality SwiftUI code, scaffolding an Xcode project, and previewing the result on the iOS Simulator — all from a conversational interface running entirely on your Mac.

## What 10x does

When you describe your app, 10x runs a two-phase AI process. In **Plan mode**, the AI researches your concept, asks clarifying questions, and produces a project plan. In **Build mode**, it writes SwiftUI code using file tools — creating, editing, and searching files on disk — and loops until the task is complete. The generated app is then compiled and launched on the iOS Simulator, with a screenshot captured back into the 10x interface so you can see your app without switching windows.

## Key features

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Conversational builder" icon="comments" href="/building/overview">
    Describe what you want in plain language. Chat with the AI at any point to request changes, add screens, or fix issues.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Plan and Build modes" icon="wand-magic-sparkles" href="/building/plan-mode">
    Plan mode researches your idea and creates a project plan. Build mode writes the SwiftUI code. Two focused phases for better results.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Live Simulator preview" icon="mobile-screen" href="/preview/simulator-preview">
    Your app is compiled and launched on the iOS Simulator automatically. A screenshot appears directly inside 10x — no window switching.
  </Card>

  <Card title="File explorer" icon="folder-open" href="/preview/file-explorer">
    Browse every generated Swift file in a VS Code-style sidebar. View syntax-highlighted source at any time without leaving the app.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Design styles" icon="palette" href="/building/design-styles">
    Choose from a curated set of design directions — Clean & Minimal, Bold & Expressive, Glass & Depth, and more — before the AI writes a single line of code.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Supabase integration" icon="database" href="/integrations/supabase">
    Link a Supabase project to add real auth, a database, and Edge Functions to your generated app.
  </Card>

## System requirements

Before you install 10x, make sure your Mac meets these requirements:

* **macOS 14 or later**
* **Xcode 16 or later**, installed from the Mac App Store and opened at least once to complete first-launch setup
* **At least one iPhone Simulator runtime** (iOS 26 or later), installed via Xcode > Settings > Platforms

<Note>
  Xcode is required — not optional. 10x compiles your app and runs it on the Simulator using Xcode's build tools. Without a working Xcode installation, the preview feature will not function.
</Note>

10x checks these requirements automatically when you first launch the app and guides you through any missing setup before letting you sign in.
